ガラス要素１２は、外部周囲４６および当該外部周囲４６の周りの縁４８を有して、ほぼ平面状である。縁４８は、制限することなく、シール、アップリケ、発泡接着剤、またはパッド印刷を含む、後方視野デバイスシステム１０においてガラス要素１２の後方に位置する１つまたは複数の要素を隠すように、クロム輪または他の同様の仕上げ材を組み込んでもよい。縁４８は、ガラス要素１２の外部周囲４６から表示要素２２の外端まで延在してもよい。あるいは、縁４８は、より狭くて、縁４８の少なくともいくつかの部分に沿って、外部周囲４６から表示要素２２の外端まで達しなくてもよい。ガラス要素１２の周囲は、接地端、ベゼル端を有してもよく、またはフレームレスであってもよい。ハウジング３０はまた、部分的に反射性で部分的に透過性の要素１２の外部周囲４６から盛り上がっていてもよい。 The

以下の記述に関して、後方視野デバイスシステム１０は、ガラス要素１２の平面に垂直な直線が見る者の目の方に向かって延在する場合に、「軸上」と見なされる。ガラス要素１２を通して見られる表示要素２２が原因で、ガラス要素１２上の眩輝が表示要素２２の視認性に干渉することがある。後方視野デバイスシステム１０が軸上にあり、夜間運転状態の間に使用される場合には、トレーリング車両（すなわち、後方視野デバイスシステム１０を備えた車両の後ろを走行する車両）からのヘッドライトは、運転者に見える眩輝を引き起こし得る。本発明の一実施形態により、図２に示されるように、動作デバイス１７６は、後方視野デバイスシステム１０と動作可能に結合される。作動デバイス１７６は、図示されたように、ボタンを含んでもよく、または「軸上」位置と「軸外」位置との間で表示装置を動かすように構成された、フリッパまたは他の作動部材を含んでもよいことが理解されるだろう。作動されると、作動デバイス１７６は、少なくともガラス要素１２を軸外に動かす（すなわち、運転者の目の方に向かう直線から離れる）。典型的には、作動デバイス１７６の発動は、ガラス要素１２を上方へ傾斜させ、ミラーを軸外位置に動かす。しかしながら、作動デバイス１７６は軸に対していかなる方向にもミラーを動かすように構成され得ることを、認識されるべきである。作動デバイス１７６は、起動されると、表示要素２２を動かすようにも構成され得る。作動デバイス１７６は、表示要素２２のスイッチの入切をするようにも構成され得る。したがって、作動デバイス１７６がミラーを軸外に動かすように作動される場合、表示要素２２はスイッチを切られ得る、つまり停止され得る。 For the following description, the rear
さらに、後方視野デバイスシステム１０を見る者に情報を提供するために、後方視野デバイスシステム１０は、後方視野デバイスシステム１０が使用中の場合、視域４０で視認可能な表示要素２２上の部分的に透過性のグラフィックオーバレイまたは画像などの、視界１７８に関する情報を含んでもよい。 Further, in order to provide information to the viewer of the rear
図４に示されるように、後方視野デバイスシステム１０は、プリント回路基板１２０に電気的に接続され、かつ、光学ブロック２４を通って表示要素２２に光を伝播させるように構成された、少なくとも１つの光源２０３（例えば、ＬＥＤ）を備えるように構成される。アイコン２０２が、表示要素２２上で視認可能で、部分的に反射性で部分的に透過性の要素１２を通して見ることができる。少なくとも１つの光源２００が、主プリント回路基板２８に電気的に接続され、光学ホルダ２０１において画定された開口部を通って伝播する照明を放射するように構成される。光学ホルダ２０１は、光パイプ２０５を固定する。光は、部分的に反射性で部分的に透過性の要素１２を通して見ることができる。図示されたように、光学ホルダ２０１は、光学ブロック２４の裏面に沿って延在する係合壁２１２を有する保持部材２１０を含む。保持部材２１０は、光学ブロック２４および主プリント回路基板２８にほぼ直交して延在する保持壁２１４も含む。保持壁２１４は、光パイプ２０５の少なくとも一部と係合する。図示されたように、光パイプ２０５は、光源２００に隣接する近接部を含む。光パイプ２０５は、フレアが反射性フィルム２０４を外側に通過した遠位部も含む。 As shown in FIG. 4, the back-
再び図４を参照すると、少なくとも１つの光源２００によって放射された光が光ホルダ２０１を通って伝播すると、当該光は光学ブロック２４を通って導かれる。反射性フィルム２０４は、光学ホルダ２０１と光学ブロック２４との間の反射性材料のない領域を画定し、少なくとも１つの光源２００によって放射された光が、光学ホルダ２０１の光パイプ２０５を通って光学ブロック２４の中に伝播することができるようになる。少なくとも１つの光源２００によって放射された光は、光学ブロック２４を通って伝播すると、その後、その光は表示要素２２を通って方向付けられる。少なくとも１つの光源２００によって放射された光は、その後、アイコン２０２によって部分的に遮断されるかフィルタ処理され、アイコン２０２の画像が部分的に反射性で部分的に透過性の要素１２を通して見られることができるように、少なくとも１つの光源２００によって放射されたある光がアイコン２０２を通過するようになる。アイコン２０２は、任意のアイコン、ロゴ、商標などを含むことができる。さらに、アイコン２０２は、表示要素２２に埋め込まれてもよいか、または、表示要素２２上に、エッチングされるか、刻まれるか、または他の方法で形成されてもよい。あるいは、アイコン２０２は、表示要素２２上に付着された、部分的に透過性のグラフィックオーバレイまたは画像であってもよい。 Referring again to FIG. 4, when light emitted by the at least one
図４を再び参照すると、プリント回路基板１２０は、主プリント回路基板２８に対してほぼ直交して延在する。しかしながら、プリント回路基板１２０およびプリント回路基板２８が、互いに対してどんな他の角度でも延在し得ることも、理解されるべきである。さらに、プリント回路基板１２０およびプリント回路基板２８は、互いに平行に延在し得る。加えて、光源２００および光源２０３は、同一または異なる特性を含み得ることも考えられる。例えば、光源２００および２０３は、異なる光色を放射し、異なる光強度を有し、またはそれらの組合せを有し得ることが概して考えられる。さらに、光源２０３から放射された光の大部分が、光ブロック２４によって捕捉され、かつ、表示要素２２に中継されるように、光学ブロック２４は光源２０３より大きいかまたは等しい幅を含んでもよい。あるいは、光源２０３から放射されたいくらかの光が、光学ブロック２４によって捕捉されず、かつ、表示要素２２に中継されるように、光学ブロック２４は光源２０３より小さい幅を含んでもよい。 Referring again to FIG. 4, the printed
図４におけるシステムを組み込んでいる場合、それは、以下に限定されないが、車両の付属品システムにリンクされたアイコンなどのアイコンを見ることを車両のユーザに許容し、一例は、車庫扉オープナーが起動したことをユーザに示すか、または、それらの車庫扉が開いたままか閉鎖位置にあるかをユーザに知らせるために車庫扉状態付きアイコンを表示する、ＨｏｍｅＬｉｎｋ（登録商標）アイコンである。さらに、アイコンは、バックミラーシステムの起動、または、表示装置が停止していてユーザが従来のバックミラーを使用しているかどうか、を示すために記号を照光してもよい。 When incorporating the system in FIG. 4, it allows the vehicle user to view icons such as, but not limited to, icons linked to the vehicle accessory system, one example being a garage door opener activated It is a HomeLink (registered trademark) icon that indicates to the user that it has done or displays an icon with a garage door status to inform the user whether those garage doors remain open or in a closed position. Further, the icon may illuminate a symbol to indicate whether the rearview mirror system is activated or whether the display device is off and the user is using a conventional rearview mirror.
